Wentworth Woodhouse welcomes you back to the annual lecture series.
Join us for a fascinating lecture exploring the connection between the celebrated 19th-century Rockingham Pottery and Britain’s iconic maritime heroine, Grace Darling. At the height of her fame, Darling’s daring 1838 sea rescue captured the national imagination - and the ceramics industry was quick to respond to popular heroes and current events. Rockingham specialists, the Leader Brothers, will share their research and expert insight into the connection.
